<LOL!>  No, no, your tastel budses are in perfect working order. :-)

I found Russell Stover's (sp?) to be fairly decent.  Here in NJ, a local
place, Gertrude Hawks, seems to have some decent chocolate for those who
like milk chocolate.  I used to buy a ton of it for Easter gifts from one of
my co-workers years ago as a lot of the kids' fund-raisers get their
chocolate from there.  In fact, I will say that Gertrude made a decent
sugar-free chocolate & peanut butter confection, which, even though it was
milk chocolate, wasn't on my "Most Horrible" list. :-)

Personally, as far as filled chocolate, I like the filled Truffles kind.
There's one type that comes in great big balls, about three-quarters golf
ball size, and I don't know who makes them.  But the more I think of them,
they make me think of the "Choco-Balls" that Ron described as one of the
thing sold in Honeydukes.  They're individually wrapped and can come in a
large bag when bought in bulk.  I only saw them on two occasions when I
received them as gifts, so I don't know where to get them or, as I stated,
who maketh them.

Cheers,
